Roger Wallenstein

Just curious, am I the only person in the USA that enjoys and collects wallenstein pipes?

I'm certain that you are not alone.

I personally am not a fan as I prefer more classic pipe design.  Much of his stuff is just too far out there for me from a practical perspective.  I could not imagine smoking most of his pipes, but can certainly appreciate them from an artistic perspective.

Different strokes for different folks.

I've got a massive collection of Dunhill and BBB pipes. That's as traditional as you can get. I stumbled upon his pipes and it was a happy accident. They're functional art but they're designed to be smokers. Every one I have fits perfectly in my mouth and hand.

Well that's a great testimonial.  I've never actually seen or held one in person, but I'm glad to hear they are good smokers.  I know a few people who own Wallenstein pipes and his name comes up from time to time in conversation.

Would love to see some pictures if you'd care to share.  

Sweet smokes!

Hope to own one one day. I saw a video of him making a pipe somewhere, very unorthodox, and it inspired me to make a few in my shop!

I've got 4, so you're not alone, though I'd say I no longer live in the U.S.
